    Notes:

    There is no record of her parentage however, this is the only Puffer family in which she fits birth-wise. It is corroborated by the 1840 Federal Census for Readsboro, VT, where her husband, Ira Whitney, is listed and the dates for each category of household people fit. In addition her father, "T Puffer" (Tisdale), is listed right below Ira Whitney and those dates also fit. In conclusion Mary Ann doesn't fit with any other family and so she is put here.
